Recurring meetings set as a fixed clock time in one city will move by an hour for the other on these dates.
Public holidays to avoid
Dates where one side is off work while the other is not are the most common cause of no-shows on this route.
- Wednesday, November 11, 2026 — Armistice Day — Paris is off, Seoul is working.
- Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day and Christmas Day; both cities are off.
With 1 shared working hours, Paris and Seoul can run standing meetings without anyone giving up an evening — as long as the slot sits inside that window on both sides of the next clock change.
Sending a booking link avoids the arithmetic entirely: each side picks a time in their own zone and both calendars get the correct local time, including after a daylight-saving change. See how LemCall handles cross-timezone bookings.
